Build a Problem-Statement Abstraction Ladder

I get a structured abstraction ladder of how-might-we problem statements ordered from most abstract to most concrete, with exactly one marked as the chosen right-sized statement, so I avoid framing my MVP problem too broadly or too narrowly.

You receive: A JSON object {rungs:[{level, statement, isChosen}]} with at least 3 rungs numbered contiguously from abstract (level 1) to concrete (highest level), every statement a distinct 'How might we...' question, and exactly one rung marked as chosen.

What's verified: STUD verifies the ladder has at least your minimum number of rungs (never fewer than 3, the ladder's floor), that rung levels run contiguously 1..N from abstract to concrete, that every statement is a distinct non-empty 'How might we...' question with exactly one question mark, that exactly one rung is marked as chosen, and, when you require a middle position (the default), that the chosen rung sits strictly between the most abstract and most concrete rungs. STUD does NOT judge whether the rungs genuinely relate to the problem you describe, whether the chosen statement is actually the right scope, whether it is solvable, or whether it is the most valuable problem to attack.
